As folks in the NPLH thread were bemoaning the dead link @ goodbad, here's my own upload of Siren's "Metro Mercenary" 7".

SIREN - Metro-Mercenary 7" (1984) USA



01. Metro-Mercenary
02. Terrible Swift Sword

Tampa Florida based Progressive Heavy metal act founded in 1981 by vocalist Doug Lee.
Their 1984 self financed "Metro-Mercenary"single found SIREN with a line up of Lee, guitarist Ron Phillips, bassist Ben Parrish and teenage drummer Ed Aborn.
Following the single release Parrish made way for bassist Edward Amyx and recording the January 1985 four track demo tape 'Iron Coffins'.
This exposure prompted Pennsylvania based Sanaty Records to include the SIREN track 'Over The Rainbow' on their 'Start To Stardom' compilation album.
Following their 1986 debut album, "No Place Like Home", Lee completely rebuilt SIREN for their second outing, 1988's "Financial Suicide", drafting in guitarist Brian C. Hendrickson, bassist Les Talent and drummer David Smith.
This line up would prove unstable however, and the Siren name was put to rest in 1989.
Lee would later front strange German Art/Prog/Thrash Metallers Mekong Delta for four albums between 1990 and 1997.
Not to be confused with the other Florida band SIREN, who were based in Miami.

Good on you! Managed to find a 320kb rip on Slsk earlier.

Thank you, sir.

My pleasure.

Was this compliation ever released? The only other reference I've found is in the review of the MAX PLANCK/KIL'D'COR split on this page: http://www.loudandlegendary.com/pages/vinyl.php

I've no idea DaN, if memory serves i lifted the bulk of the bio from rockdetector.
Unfortunately, my memory quite often lets me down these days.

Always liked this single, both tracks are solid. Just came across their demos, but haven't played them yet
